Quickly highlighting, creating and moving groups
Can’t seem to figure out how to highlight and move a large mass of scenes together to the left on timeline. Please help. Thanks!

The normal windows rules work. Highlight one, go to the end of a string of events and shift highlight tyhe last one. They will all be highlighted and all move together. You can highlight a number of different events using control click and then (G)roup them. They will then act as a group. Just use your general Windows knowledge. Most of it applies.

Well, the ‘normal’ windows rules apply – half way.
In Windows if you left-mouse-hold & drag you can select a group of files. Not so in Vegas – it selects the timeframe for a loop.
While your suggestion to hold the shift key down and select certainly helps in selecting large groups of tracks and segments, I would have hoped that Vegas would make a mouse-hold-drag selectable (predetermined obviously) as to what function it performs.

Thanks Terry. Your solution got me started because I not only need to highlight across, but also down for the 5.1 sound tracks.
So by clicking on the first video scene, hitting shift and clicking on the last video scene, and then hitting shift and clicking the lowest right audio scene of the bunch, I selected it all and was able to move everything as a group!

If I understand you correctly, enabling the Selection Edit Tool (fourth icon from the right on the tool bar) does exactly what you want.
